Iași, ROMANIA - Flixier.com, the fastest online video editing platform, announces a new Content Repurposing Guide specifically designed to help influencers, content creators and marketing managers adapt to sharply declining organic reach on Facebook. Over the past year, social media creators have watched their posts reach a shrinking fraction of their followers. Flixier adds fresh data suggesting that reach is down even further by over 60% during the last two years. Flixier also offers a practical guide to make up for the loss in reach: repurpose and tailor existing video content for multiple platforms to regain lost engagement and reach new audiences.
Context: Starting with the summer of 2024, export social media observing outlets such as Socialinsider.io reported historical downs in reach for both Facebook and Instagram with figures as low as 2.6% of followers reached on Facebook. Instagram, despite having nearly double the reach (4%) was also reported to see an overall decline of no less than 18% in terms of reached audiences.
The Declining Reach of Social Media: A Crisis for Content Creators
In the past two years, this crisis for content creators has worsened. A recent survey conducted by Flixier across Publishers with Facebook pages between 1 and 3 Million followers suggests that most publishers lost over 60% of reach, and traffic received from Facebook is down to 10% or 20% of former levels. This is even more concerning because variables such as posting frequency and follower development were taken into account as well. All publishers in the survey saw a 5% or more (one even by 20%) increase in followers and still reported similar-sized losses in reach during the last two years, with only insignificant improvements.
“In this context, most senior management starts to question further investment into organic social or even winds down on social media activity,” declares Paul Ruscior, CEO and co-founder of Flixier.com. In order to “help influencers, content creators and marketing managers uphold their efficiency and meet KPI goals, content creation needs to be streamlined.”
Understanding Content Repurposing: A Solution for Enhanced Reach
Flixier defines "content repurposing" as the process of adapting content that’s already been published and resharing it on other platforms. This helps maximize its visibility without starting from scratch. Effective as it may be, this process of adapting content to new platforms can also be quite taxing in terms of time and resources spent – unless it’s aided by AI.
With the proper AI tools, many aspects of content repurposing can be optimized and sped up, saving hours of manual work and frustration. From caption generation to automatic transcription and fluent voiceovers, AI-powered tools can help creators scale up their content production with very little effort.
In Flixier's step-by-step guide Take back 60% of your reach: Repurpose content and reconnect with your audience through a better medium choice and the right editing toolkit, the authors outline all the steps needed to increase content’s reach on average by 60%.
